Question 11

Multiple Choice

Use the following information for the question. A group of home gardeners want to test whether the type of soil used to grow
heirloom tomatoes has an effect on the number of tomatoes harvested. Gardeners randomly assigned tomato plants to be
grown in soil with no fertilizer, commercial plant food, and homemade compost. All other growing conditions were kept the
same. Forty plants were assigned to each group. At the end of the growing season the number of tomatoes harvested was
counted. Assume that all other conditions for the ANOVA test have been met.
 One-way ANOVA F=0.762135P=0.5202354 Factor df=2SS=710.349206MS=355.174603\begin{array} { | } \hline \text { One-way ANOVA } \\\mathrm { F } = 0.762135 \\P = 0.5202354 \\\text { Factor } \\\mathrm { df } = 2 \\\mathrm { SS } = 710.349206 \\\mathrm { MS } = 355.174603 \\\hline\end{array}
-Using the test results provided, test the hypothesis that soil treatment affects the number of tomatoes harvested. Use a significance level of 5%. Choose the correct decision regarding the null
Hypothesis and correct conclusion.


A) Fail to reject H0\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } . We can conclude that the treatment of the soil does not affect the number of heirloom tomatoes harvested.
B) Reject H0\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } . We can conclude that the treatment of the soil does not affect the number of heirloom tomatoes harvested.
C) Fail to reject H0\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } . We can conclude that the treatment of the soil affects the number of heirloom tomatoes harvested.
D) Reject H0\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } . We can conclude that the treatment of the soil affects the number of heirloom tomatoes harvested.
